Study Notes
- Development occurs in three broad domains: Physical, Cognitive, and Psychosocial, where changes in one domain can impact the others due to their interaction.
- Factors influencing development include Biological (genetic conditions), Environmental (surroundings), and Sociocultural (social and cultural influences) contexts.
- The debate of Nature vs. Nurture in development highlights the interplay between genetics and environment, with both playing significant roles.
- Maturation involves the natural unfolding of the genetic program, while Learning is about forming associations and being influenced by the environment.
- Development during the prenatal stage involves rapid changes in 8 months, while development in the 30s-40s is still ongoing but less noticeable with age.
- Plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change connections or functions, with different parts compensating for damage.
- The text discusses different psychological perspectives, including Freud's Psychoanalytic POV and Watson's behaviorism, emphasizing early childhood influences and observable behavior.
- Various prenatal stages are outlined, including the Germinal Period, Embryonic Period (with organogenesis and risks like Neural Tube defects), and Fetal Period.
- Gene-Environmental correlations can be passive (genes and environment align), evocative (environment influences gene reactions), and active (individuals pursue certain environments).
- Other topics covered include heritability, selective breeding, reinforcement and punishment in behavior, teratogen diseases like Rubella, Syphilis, Diabetes, and HIV, as well as maternal factors like stress and nutrition affecting development.
